Management of Aquaculture Pond Soils in Thailand Environment Impacts Analysis 1 (11.5EIAR1)/Study/Thailand IInnvveessttiiggaattoorrss Claude E. Boyd US Principal Investigator Auburn University, Alabama Mali Boonyaratpalin HC Principal Investigator Thailand Department of Fisheries, Bangkok, Thailand Idsariya Wudtisin Graduate Student OObbjjeeccttiivveess 1) Evaluate pond soil data collected in Thailand and determine major similarities and differences related to culture species. 2) Develop best management practices for pond bottom soil management in Thailand, and evalu- ate the degree of adoption and effectiveness of the practices. SSiiggnniififi ccaannccee Sustainability and protection of the environment are major issues in aquaculture (Black, 2001). Unsus- tainable projects are economically damaging, but often, they are the aquaculture endeavors that do the most environmental harm (Clay, 2004). Two main reasons for unsustainability of aquaculture operations are selection of inferior sites and application of inappropriate management procedures. Soil characteris- tics should be given primary concern in selection of sites for pond aquaculture (Hajek and Boyd 1994), and application of good bottom soil management is necessary for long-term operation of ponds. More- over, attention to soil quality improves pond water quality, which in turn, favors both better production and enhanced effl uent quality (Boyd, 1995). Recent studies funded by Aquaculture CRSP and conducted in Thailand by Auburn University re- searchers and collaborators in the Thailand Department of Fisheries have provided much data on the physical and chemical properties of bottom soils in ponds for culture of black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) in coastal areas, low salinity culture of black tiger shrimp in inland areas, and production of tilapia (Tilapia spp.), freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii), catfi sh (Clarias spp.), and carp (Pun- tius spp.) in freshwater areas. Because of high production levels in Thai aquaculture, deterioration of pond soil condition is a common problem. The information on soil characteristics and pond management procedures accumulated in the aforementioned studies can be used to develop best practices for pond soil management in Thailand. These best management practices (BMPs) will be valuable in improving the prospects for sustainable and environmentally-responsible pond aquaculture in Thailand and other nations. QQuuaannttiififi eedd AAnnttiicciippaatteedd BBeenneefifi ttss The best management practices will provide a means of transferring the best available information on pond soil management in a simple form that can be understood easily by producers. The specifi c expected benefi ts are as follows: 1) Development of guidelines for identifi cation of soils with properties suitable for aquaculture ponds. 2) Preparation of BMPs for mitigating limitations of site soil properties and for maintaining good bottom soil quality. 3) Preparation BMPs to prevent negative external impacts related to pond soil management. RReesseeaarrcchh DDeessiiggnn aanndd AAccttiivviittyy PPllaann Pond Facilities: No ponds are needed for this research. However, pond soil characteristics have been determined for many ponds in most major aquaculture areas of Thailand (Boyd and Munsiri 1997; Boyd et al., 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000; Wudtisin et al., 2004; Thunjai et al., 2004). This database will pro- vide information needed in developing the BMPs. 6 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ANALYSIS E N V Research Plan and Methodology: The US PI has considerable experience in developing BMPs for pond IMIR aquaculture (Boyd, 1999, 2003; Boyd et al., 2001, 2003). The procedure used to develop BMPs in- PO volves determining the negative impacts that result from a particular activity and developing prac- AN CM tices (BMPs) for preventing or mitigating the negative impacts. For example, suppose there is a layer TE of potential acid-sulfate soil at a depth of 1 m beneath an area where ponds are to be constructed. SN T The practice for preventing excessive acidity in ponds is to construct ponds in a manner that this soil A layer is not disturbed and is not exposed in the bottoms of ponds or used in construction of pond L embankments. Another good example is ponds located in an area with bottom soils of a pH of 5. Such soils must be limed regularly to maintain pH above 7. Of course, the BMP will provide infor- mation on pH measurement and liming practices. Pond soil BMPs also will reduce negative effects of pond aquaculture on adjacent land and nearby water bodies. The total suspended solids concentration is the water quality variable in pond effl uent most likely to exceed an acceptable level (Boyd and Tucker, 1998). High concentrations of suspended solids cause elevated turbidity and increased sedimentation rates in receiving water bodies. Thus, pond soil BMPs will include ways of reducing the concentration of total suspended solids in pond effl uents. For instance, the BMPs will recommend that ponds are drained in a manner to minimize sediment resuspension, outlet gates or drains are closed in empty ponds to avoid discharge of turbid water after heavy rains, and outlet canals are designed to resist erosion during effl uent discharge. The practice of washing pond bottoms with jets of water from high-pressure hoses, as sometimes done in Thailand, will be discouraged to prevent pollution of receiving waters. Moreover, disposal of pond sediment on nearby land can cause deterioration of vegetation at the disposal site, and runoff from sediment piles may increase turbidity and sedimentation in nearby streams or other aquatic habitats. This study will include the design of BMPs to lessen negative, external impacts. The database mentioned above on pond soils in Thailand will be evaluated to determine the main soil limitations (Hajek and Boyd, 1994) that affect Thai aquaculture. Information on pond soil man- agement (Boyd 1995) will be used to formulate management practices for mitigating the limita- tions. The database also contains information on changes in pond bottom properties over time and the usual practices applied in pond management during production of major culture species. This information will be used in identifying negative changes that may occur in pond soils as a result of aquaculture and BMPs to prevent these changes will be formulated. These BMPs will assure that good bottom soil quality can be maintained over many years of pond use. The graduate student for this study is conducting analyses of pond soils from catfi sh, carp, and freshwater prawn ponds. She will use this information in her dissertation as well as develop the BMPs with assistance from the US PI. The BMPs will be fi nalized in early 2005 following discussions with the host country PI, other biologists, and fi sh farmers. They will be translated to Thai by the student and distributed to fi sh producers by the Thailand Department of Fisheries. Implementation of soil BMPs will require farmers to make changes in culture system infrastructure, operations, and management techniques. The effectiveness of these changes will be refl ected in pre- vention or reduction in negative impacts on infrastructure and nearby land and water. The US and host country PIs will develop a survey document consisting of a checklist of items to be inspected and questions to be asked of farmers. In early 2006, a sample of 10 to 15 farms in central Thailand will be selected by local biologists of the Department of Fisheries. The PIs will travel to these farms and conduct the evaluation of BMP adoption and effectiveness with aid of the survey document. Statistical Analysis: This study does not focus on measurable quantities that can be subjected to statistical analysis. RReeggiioonnaall IInntteeggrraattiioonn The project will integrate well into the regional plan. Pond aquaculture in Thailand is similar to that of other Southeast and South Asian nations. Thus, the BMPs can be applied in other Asian nations. More- over, many of the BMPs should be useful in pond aquaculture in other regions. 7 ELEVENTH WORK PLAN, PART II Schedule The tentative schedule follows: November 2004: Begin project.

SSiiggnniififi ccaannccee Aquaculture CRSP has conducted research/outreach activities in Asia for more than two decades. However, it has not been expanded to China, which is the largest aquaculture producer in the world. Aquaculture and culture-based fi sheries have been developed and intensifi ed rapidly in China since late 1970s, and have played important roles in the livelihood of Chinese farmers through employment, income generation, and food security. China produces about 70% of the world’s farmed aquatic prod- ucts. However, environmental impacts related to inland aquaculture and culture-based fi sheries have caused serious concerns. Lack of environmental awareness and environmentally friendly technologies have polluted most public waters such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs. Many dams are constructed on small streams or large rivers to create artifi cial reservoirs for various purposes including fi sh pro- duction. The impacts of dams and related fi shery activities on natural aquatic ecosystems and native biodiversity urgently need to be addressed. With intensifi cation of aquaculture systems, heavy uses and abuses of chemicals and drugs are concerns for food safety and sustainable use of those waters for fi sheries production. China also has the largest number of exotic aquatic species in the world. Potential impacts of fi shery development on biodiversity should be addressed, and appropriate control mecha- nisms need to be established. However, such environmental concerns have not been fully addressed through research and education at various levels. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify and address environmental issues related to aquaculture and fi sheries activities for promoting sustainable development of inland aquaculture and cultured-based fi sheries in China. AAnnttiicciippaatteedd BBeenneefifi ttss This study will be important to increase public awareness on aquaculture-related environmental issues through education, research, and outreach in China. RReesseeaarrcchh DDeessiiggnn 1) Establish linkages between AIT and Chinese institutions including academic and governmental institutions; 2) Hold a two-day expert consultation meeting including 20-25 experts from various institutions as well as members of the CRSP PMO to review environmental issues in aquaculture and fi sh- eries in China, and identify and prioritize researchable topics; 3) Support 1-3 graduate students each from an identifi ed partner institution to conduct thesis re- search on different environment issues jointly supervised by AIT and Chinese researchers; and 4) Support 1-3 Chinese scientists each from the identifi ed partner institution to attend the World Aquaculture Society Annual Meeting and the Aquaculture CRSP Regional Network Meeting to be held in May 2005 at Bali, Indonesia. 10
